Home Run Empire

Added a Hand filter to the scouting page Added rare easter-egg names Added the names users put in the Discord Softened injuries Fixed the Super Series host issue Fixed the NIL cap — agreeing to a raise that would push payroll over the season pool is now refused with an actionable "over by $X" message, and player expectations scale to the school's actual pool so a low-prestige team stops seeing raise requests it could never afford Fixed the postseason loading screen hang Fixed the sim overlay so it stops calling weekend games "midweek"

Home Run Empire 1.2 What's New Mound Visit. Tap MANAGE → Mound Visit when your team's on defense and pick one of three coaching choices to shape the next batter. Coaching Style Per Game. Open Lineup → Menu before any matchup to set Hitting Style, Pitching Style, and Field Layout for just that game. Run Rule. Games end after seven full innings when one team leads by ten or more. Out-of-Position Defense. Players give up some defense when slotted away from their natural position. Standard moves (SS ↔ 2B, 1B ↔ 3B, LF ↔ CF ↔ RF) remain free. Auto-Steal Toggle. New Settings option, off by default. Your runners only break when you call for it; CPU teams aren't affected. Pitcher Fatigue Toast. The warning now names the reason — stamina, days rest, pitch count, or role. Live Game Resume. Close the app mid-game, reopen, and land right back at the same count, bases, log, and box. RP Stat Line. Saves, Holds, Blown Saves, and Games Finished now track on relief lines Signing Day Recap.
